Murder She Wrote - the crossover episodes

There was that time that Thomas Magnum - star of TV's Magnum PI - met Jessica Fletcher - star of TV's Murder She Wrote. 

It was a crossover caper. Part one aired as a segment of Magnum PI whilst the story concluded in a segment of Murder She Wrote. 

Thanks to a disreputable source of mine, I've got hold of the TV Guide ads for some other lesser known crossovers from everyone's favourite elderly female detective (after Miss Marple). 

She got about a bit, didn't she?

Presenting the new 'Baby Doll Patrick' doll

As regular viewers know, I am still fascinated by those full page adverts for "limited edition collectors items" that clutter the pages of Sunday newspaper colour supplements. 

About a fortnight ago, I was quite shocked to discover there is now a Doctor Who cuckoo clock on sale. This is a couple a months after I debuted my Official Sydney Newman Doctor Who Cuckoo Clock. Life imitates art. 

Another one of those products that I find genuinely quite disturbing is the life-like baby doll models. These are disturbingly realistic 'dolls' designed to look as cute as possible but in reality have the souless eyes of a shop window mannequin. 

I created one in the image of the first Dr Who William Hartnell about a year ago. It certainly created a bit of a brouhaha with twitter comments ranging from 'I want one!" to "You are now blocked, you sick bastard!" 

I produced a postcard of it for last year's Whooverville convention and I sold well into double figures of it... about fourteen. 

With my medication wearing down over this Spring bank holiday, I decided to create a companion doll for the first one. For this, I apologise. 

Here it is...

Add EastEnders' Bobby Beale to an old Doctor Who Adventure to Make it Scarier...

The title says it all really. 

Following the little rascal's attack on his stepmother whilst everyone is celebrating another Fowler wedding and Peggy's suicide. (Need a Harry Hill look-to-camera here...), I thought that the one thing that could make some of the old Tom Baker Doctor Who adventures even more scary and horrifying would be the addition of Bobby Beale. 

Here's some ideas. I'm sure there are plenty of others but three is enough to be honest. 





BBC's Legends of Yesterday - part four

A few more covers for the ongoing BBC's Legends of Yesterday series. Finally did the Liberator vs the Charlotte Rhodes cover I'd promised myself way back.

Not sure where I can go with it now. Suggestions to the usual address please... 



































And finally, a nice big image of all 12 of the covers together.* 




































* Yes, I know there's one missing. I'll show it off later when the actual cover has been published in a well-known long-running fanzine.
